With the release of the Brian Lara Cricket demo I will update the CricketGames.com CD-ROM to release 010. Since release 009 I
have added 5 demos (including BLC), 3 games, 3 patches, 1 utility and 2 web sites plus
updated 2 games, 1 patch, scorecards, 4 utils and all web sites. The CD-ROM is available
for US$20 including delivery anywhere in the world. Within the UK the cost is £10. For
more details see the order form.

I have fallen foul of the bandwidth limits of my web provider. I have a transfer
limit of 1.5Gb per month which was exceed on 26 December. I have to pay £25 per month per
additional 500Mb transferred which perversely is more than the normal monthly charge of
£19.95. If this continues in January I will have to do something to address this
situation or look for another provider as I want CricketGames.com to be able to grow. This
index page has received over 6000 hits this month alone. A small reminder that to help
support this site you can buy the CricketGames.com CD-ROM
which is a very good CD-ROM dedicated to cricket or you can register International Test Cricket.

Audiogenic are producing a data disk with updates of all the teams (ie
international. county, and Sheffield Shield - if appropriate) for use with Lara '96 and Shane Warne Cricket. It will cost £9.99 by post
or £5.99 by email.

Due to a holiday I am going to be without net access from 28th November to 16th
December so will be unable to read email or update these pages. Please do continue to send
in submissions and orders for ITC/CricketGames.com CD-ROM and I will deal with them when I get
back.

Please use the Forum to discuss cricket games in general. At the moment the
forum only has a few messages in it. I have posted a few new threads about International Test Cricket to help kickstart some articles
appearing.

The demo of Jonty Rhodes II:World
Class Cricket that was previously linked here has had to be removed. Jonty Rhodes II:
World Class Cricket is still a copyrighted commercial title and not freeware as the site
the download was linked to claimed.

Someone has posted in the Guest Book a suggestion that I 'buy all the
cricket games I can afford and make them available for free download!' This obviously
is not going to happen. CricketGames.com is not a WaReZ site and never
will be. On the subject of downloads I will try and add links to commercial demos soon if they are available on the
net. If you know of such links please send me
the web address. All shareware games already have
download links.

Fixed download link for Cricket
Supreme which was invalid, thanks to Arijit Sen (who was first of several people) for
pointing this out. How come then only one person reported the invalid link for Virtual Cricket which is a far superior simulation!

If anyone has had problems accessing this site over the last few days I am very
sorry but it is due to circumstances beyond my control. The backbone provider for my web
pages had both their redundant lines fail and their major line had routing problems. This
has hopefully now been fixed with the installation of a new router.

After saying that World Cricket was
the worst cricket game ever Ken Daniels claims he has a cricket game, Howzat World Cricket
Quest, that is even worse. I have never heard of this game so if anyone else has
experiences of it please send them in.
Ken is sending me the game so I can review it for these pages but it will take a few weeks
to arrive as he is based in New Zealand and I am in the UK.

Has anyone heard of a game called International Cricket Challenge? It was
published by Spectre Software in 1991 and may well have been only an Australian release. I
have got this game but it was originally released on 5¼" disk and was copy protected
so the copy I have on 3½" disk does not work. If you have got this please send me
details or better still if you have got a version installed that does not require copy
protection send me a copy. I have the original disks and manual but can not play the game.

The Forum appears to be working fine and was just a temporary glitch so why not
post a message. The Guest Book also should be working fine now. If any one still has
problems please send
me details and I will look in to it. Include details like operating system, browser, error
message, etc.

Added General Comments page. This is a
summary of some of the features I feel should be included in cricket games and all too
often are missing or incomplete.

A couple of people have reported problems using the Forum and Guest Book. If any
one else has had problems please send
me details and I will look in to it. Include details like operating system, browser, error
message, etc.

Added International Test Cricket pages. The existing
pages at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/tortyfoo/itc/index.html will remain for the next 10
months or so (until the current contract runs out) but may not be updated as often as
these pages.
